jordanwb Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 For my summative (final project) for my Design & Tech class I have to re-design a locker. This is a question to all those in school who have a locker: What would you like to have in a locker? I currently have: Small Safe Adjustable coat hooks Fingerprint Scanner The project is due Wednesday. Thanks. Yay I'm a forum regular now.

emehrkay Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 When I was in middle school, i put up low powered speakers and a walman in my locker. It was cool for the two days that it was up before i was told to take it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tippy_102 Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Way back when I was in school, we'd trudge through snow to get to school then place our slush and salt covered boots on the floor of the locker. By lunch time, there was a puddle of wet muddy slush on the bottom of the locker where you would not have to place our nice clean shoes. It would have been nice to have a grill on the bottom of the locker (like the one in the oven?) so the wet stuff could drain out. I haven't had a locker for a long time...maybe they have evolved since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roopurt18 Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Here we go again, curing the symptons and ignoring the disease. Get rid of all the books and BS busy work and you won't even need lockers anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordanwb Posted December 15, 2007 Author Share Posted December 15, 2007 That's a good suggestion but it doesn't really help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xiao Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 A handy rack to place a laptop on (and maybe a built-in wireless antenna to which you can connect your laptop for good connection) to use the school's wireless broadband for a day of downloading.

jordanwb Posted December 15, 2007 Author Share Posted December 15, 2007 That's a good idea. I put a network port and a power port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who on Earth would be naive enough to put a laptop in a locker, or bring it to high school (or lower) in the first place? I don't know about you guys, but where I went to school, anything valuable in locker == stolen. And who would want to stand there in front of their locker to use a laptop? ...

jordanwb Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 I brought my laptop to High School several times. However I kept it in my backpack which I carried around at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerRobot Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I just use the boot of my car to keep my stuff in. So, if you wanted to add wheels, an engine and 4 seats to your locker design... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing ever gets stolen from our lockers. And you don't use it in front of your locker, you set some downloads in a cue and put it in your locker for downloading.

Yes, I'm sure that would fly by the school's IT department just fine. I'm not trying to be a Negative Nancy or poo-poo ideas on a whim here, but one of the key points of designing anything is being realistic.

A friend of mine suggested having a teacher in your locker. That is an example of stupid suggestions. I'm locking for sensible suggestions here.

xiao Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 A built-in wireless antenna is pretty realistic imo :-\ It costs like $10 to make if you buy 1000 antennas, and if the locker has a safe and a fingerprint scanner, no laptop's going to be stolen, otherwise the money for the fingerprint scanner and the safe ($50-$100?) is more wasted than the antenna would be. And I don't know how it is in the US, but in Belgium, we have a limit of 10GB to 15GB a montht to download (at home), so if we can DL 2Gb a day at school, that's a pretty good deal for us. anyway, we put our laptops in our lockers, and we need an antenna to get a better connection in the iron box. edit by neylitalo: Removed profanity.

jordanwb Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 One time I downloaded Service Pack 1 for Microsoft Visual Studio (which was 400 MB) in under two minutes. I have finished my locker so no more suggestions are needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
